It has been a week since the family dinner and the effects still reverberated in full flow. Vukan laid flat on his back and smiled at his phone, waiting patiently for it to ring aloud and for his heart to melt into a million pieces once again as it had done every single night for a week. It was becoming the norm and he couldn't quite get enough of it even if he wanted to.
It felt like forever as he glanced at his phone again, smiling at the previous messages they had exchanged, knowing too well things felt better between them. His cellphone finally fizzled in his hand as a new text came through. Smiling from ear to ear, Vukan opened the message to read the words it bore;
"I have to go for now… there is something important I have to take care of", the sender had said.
Vukan felt a swarm of disappointment riddle his spine but he wasn't about to allow himself to get vexed. He understood the situation well enough to know he couldn't be the one taking all of his time.
